About us

In June of 2012 we combined with other interested parties to create the Workers Cooperative Network (WCN). The WCN promotes the worker cooperative business model through out Ireland (North & South). Through the WCN we have developed strong links with worker coopertives and cooperative agencies in Britain and Spain. We also have relationships with CECOP, the European umbrella body for worker and social cooperatives.In January 2014 the work of Meitheal Midwest was subsumed into the Limerick Community Grocery store. The grocery store is the practical manifestation of the research and advocacy work into cooperative which we had undertaken in the two years prior to 2014.
